I spent the better part of today in a DES office that's the new name for the food foodstamp office. While I was there I developed quite the case of hives as a felt my throat tightening and was trying not to scratch a rather mean office worker finished my casework. immediately after leaving I drove to a doctors office. They were able to work me in right away and for the first time in ages I have a doctors who understands and believes me and gave me orders for a full blood workup as well as all the allergy tests available
.
Maybe I can finally get a handle on some of these Health issues.

It's been rather hot here in Arizona the last couple of days. Although I have been busy and in the air conditioned buildings, I also know where the largest trees for shade in the parks are. tonight I cooked my dinner at the park.

I caught a glimpse of this rig at Wal-Mart. ..the lady driving is taking on quite the project.

And laundry
And a full kitchen to use
And hair cuts
And bike lanes and trails
And fresh produce
And ...

Welcome to Cottonwood AZ!

Okay so I have a lot to share. ...

I moved down to the small town feeling city of Cottonwood last week when my
budget was very tight. I needed to come into Wal-Mart and just decided to spend the night in town. What a surprisingly good decision!

Cottonwood has many sections of town including historic Old Town. All of Cottonwood is bicycle friendly and there are bike lanes and trails. They have a nice little transit system and there seems to be plenty of buses. There is plenty of choices for shopping including a wonderful healthfood store. Cottonwood has a lovely Rec Center with daily, weekly and monthly rates for residents and visitors. I understand that the library is nice as well. There are services to help travelers as well as the disabled and low income people of the Verde Valley. Food pantries with fresh produce and occasionally health foods. Hot meals and a Friday evening community picnic in the park. Free showers, hair cuts, laundry, coffee, use of computers or Wi-Fi access and much more.

Was the style community that I was aiming for while building on the mountain in the central valley of Costa Rica. ..enjoy the video. ...by the way I think that this man is right that we cannot do this alone.

Check out their stove, which is similar to my portable one. The dry Portalet toilet has been on my wish list for years. I lived both debt free and car free for many years until I chose this van camping lifestyle.
